Get Prepared
There are a few things to sort out to make your life easier. Start by setting a budget. Then decide how you’re planning to pay. If you’re opting for finance, make sure to get a pre-approval from your bank.
Next, think about your ideal timeline. Keep in mind that the buying process can vary, so it’s good to leave some wiggle room. Lastly, jot down your property preferences, so you can discuss them with your Property Consultant later on.

Find the Right Property Agent
You could buy a property on your own, but why take on the stress? A skilled, experienced agent will not only show you the best options but also help you understand the market and guide you toward the right opportunities.
And it doesn’t stop there. If you plan to rent out your property or need it professionally managed, the right agency can handle it all while keeping things hassle-free. A full-service agency will take care of everything, giving you peace of mind while keeping one dedicated point of contact.
Choosing the Right Option
FAQs
Should I buy Off Plan or ready property?
Off Plan properties often come with flexible payment plans and strong long-term ROI, making them an excellent investment choice. Ready properties, on the other hand, are perfect for immediate use or generating rental income. We can help you weigh the pros and cons of each option to suit your needs.
What is the difference between freehold and leasehold ownership?
Freehold ownership means you own the property and the land it’s built on outright. Leasehold ownership allows you to lease the property from the landowner for a set period, typically up to 99 years.
How long does the property buying process in Dubai take?
The process typically takes 30 to 60 days, depending on factors like financing, the property type, and the parties involved.
Can I finance the property?
Yes, financing is available. With pre-approval from your bank, we can help you secure the best mortgage rates and guide you through the process.
Are there any costs to consider?
- 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee.
- 2% agent fee + VAT for ready properties.
- Mortgage registration fee (0.25% of the total loan amount).
What documentation do I need?
- UAE residents: Passport, Emirates ID, and visa.
- Non-residents: Just a passport.
What if the property I want to buy is rented?
If the property is rented, the tenant’s rights are protected under Dubai’s rental laws. As the new owner, you’ll need to honor the existing tenancy contract until it expires.
